Fuel Prices in India: The central government has reduced the prices of petrol and diesel by Rs 2. Customers get the benefit of this from the VAT rates being charged in different states. Due to VAT, the price of petrol and diesel is different in every state. The most expensive petrol and diesel is sold in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Kerala. On the other hand, oil prices are cheaper in smaller states and union territories like Delhi, North East states and Andaman and Nicobar. VAT is the real game, due to which in some states the prices are more than Rs 100 per liter.
